Adjournment ofthe 49th Congress-Busi-
est Session Ever Known.

Adjournment OF the 4othS Onsress-Busl.
est Session Ever Known.
Friday, March 4. The last hours of each
house where characteristic. The crowds who
looked down on the Senate saw bills rushed
through almost to the last. The crowds who
looked down on the House saw members
frantically clamoring for chance to pass
bills, and in all save a very few cases disap-
pointed by the appropriations committee,
which managed to occupy the time. The
members of both houses were tired, and the
atmosphere of both bou eS was foul. 1t was
not strange Mr.. Edmunds was sarcastic in
his allusion to the Presidents veto of the
pauper pension bill in the Senate, nor that
Messrs Read Randall and Butterworth had
a sharp triangular discussion over the fortifi-
cations bill in the house. Mr.. Reed told Mr..
Randall in this little debate that the country
would know that the failnre of Congress to
provide for coast defense rested on Mr..
Randall's shoulders. The closing scenes were
tame and uninteresting compared with those
of former years,
The 10th Congress was in session 10 months
and 26 days, and beat the record in the
amount of business DONE In the Senate
there were introduced 1857 bills and lis joint
resolutions, on which 1888 written reports
were made, being upward of 500 more bills
and over 400 more reports than in the 4Sth
Congress. The total number of laws enacted
was, approximately, 1881, of which 1893
originated in the House and 33S in the
Senate. Of these, 2a4 became laws by the
expiration of the constitutional 10 days
limitation; so bills failed to become laws
owing to the adjournment of Congress, nine
of them at the close of the first session. The
President vetoel 1872 bills-46 Senate and 90
House-or2l more than had been vetoed from
the foundation of the government down to
the beginning of this Congress. The Presi-
dent also "pocketed" and Killed so bills. OF
the bills which passed the Senate $40 became
laws, including IS of public and POS OF a
private nature About $50 bills and joint
resolutions which originated in the House
failed OF action in the Senate, and $50 Senate
bills failed in the House. The death roll OF
this Congress bears 10 names, an unprece-
| denied number. This includes Vice-Presi-
dent Hendricks, president of the Senate.

Wages OF Womcn.

The wages paid to women, in almost
every line of business, are miserably
low. 1t is very seldom that women re-
ceive, even for the same work, more than
half the wages of men. Mary A.
Livermore writing of "Woman's Work
in Moral Reforms" say: SIN Boston
there are over twenty thousand women
whose average age is about twenty five
years, who work ten hours a day for
less than an average of four dollars a
week. This is exclusive of those en-
gagged in domestic service, who number
nearly sixteen thousand more. In the
City of New York one hundred land
twenty five thousand working women
are reported, whose average wages are
no higher than those in Boston. A SINH
lar condition of things undoubtedly
exists in all our large cities" In Phila-
dclphia there are nearly as many.-women
workers as in New York, and their aver
age pay is little, if any larger. Women
do the same work as men, laboring az
long, and as well, and receive but half
the pay. We have seen two persons
one man, the other women - standing
behind the counter in large retail house
in this city, and doing the same work
for an equal number of hours; the wom-
an received four dollars, the man nine
dollars. Nor is the difference in renum-
Grafton affected by the character of the
work. According to Mrs. Livermore,
the average pay of female teacher in the
State of Massachusetts is less than one
third the average pay of the male teach
or. In Philadelphia the wages paid to
women folders are about equal to those
paid to the boys in the binderies. In
every calling Except possibly one or two
